Behind the times, horrible - Principal CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) Employee Review

Pros

Nice offices. Not much to add.

Cons

Horribly behind the times. Very cheap, not great benefits either. Horribly disorganized and right hand does not know what the left hand does. Acquiring to many junkie CPA firms and can't keep-up with the systems and processes. You have to share a room with another employee when your travel to conferences - gross! Many people about to retire and the entire company is led by folks from the Midwest. They have no sense of reality.

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
